re- The richest gold mine in the world, which
is somewhat perpatetic, has located for the pres
ent in Arizona. Ore that averages 81, 900 per ton
is piling itself up mountain high, while ordinary
mining with mortar yields at the rate of $500 an
hour. Gold can be scaled from the rocks like
scales from Delaware shad, and all that any body
needs in the rich region of Hassayampa run is a
scaling knife and enough rocks to become as rich
as an AstOr or Vanderbilt. In spite, however, of
the great richness of this Arizona Eldorado, it
might be well for those who contemplate trying
the scaling knife plan of getting rich to wait till
all the returns are in. The richest gold mine in
the world is something like the fever and ague out
West. It is usually over in the adjoining county.

Mg- The Executive Committee of the Maryland
State Temperance Alliance held a meeting in Bal
timore on the 11th inst. A preamble and resolu-
tions were adopted declaring that the Alliance
being a non-partisan and non-sectarian organiza-
ton, had part lot in the fierce political party
contests just closed in Maryland, and declaring
"that we will redouble our energies for moral
suasion, local option, constitutional prohibition,
the distribution of literature and the enforcement
of the laws" 1t was also resolved that the ALI
ance memorable the General Assembly of Mary
land at its next session, to submit to the vote of
the people early in June, 1888, proposed amend
ment to the constitution of the State prohibiting
the manufacture and sale of alcoholic liquors as
beverages. 1t is intended that the proposed
amendment, if submitted and adopted, shall, in
connection with appropriate legislation, go into
effect May l, 1870.

3- Brother Duncan, of the Democrat, is still
after the Independent Democrats with an exceed
ly sharp pointed pencil. In reviewing the results
of the late election in this county he says:
than they were entitled to and something larger
than we expected but still it is vote that should
make every Independent in the county blush and
hang his head in shame. After all their bluster
and Boosting, threats and abuse, they find them
selves repudiated by the Democratic party, who
they have sought to destroy"
We don't see any particular good that can come
of kicking political enemy when he is down.
According to the election returns there were about
seven or eight hundred of these despised Inde-
pendents in the county, many of whom are among
our best citizens and lifelong Democrats. Doubt
less majority of them will want to 90 back into
the party that they strayed from, but if they meet
with such q reception as that accorded them by
Brother Duncan, 1t is likely they will remain out
permanently. tie

9- Four of the Chicago Anarchists were
hanged on Friday of last week and that days
work on the part of the authorities did more to
put stop to the rawlings of the foreign cranks
and murderers who have been focking to this
century could do. The living Anarchists have
been taught lesson which they will not soon for
get. They came to America because it is free
country, but they have discovered that it is only
free to law-abiding citizens and that red-handed
murderers, whether native born or foreign, will
meet their just deserts in Uncle Sans domain.

Bad for the Teachers Institute.

Medtd PG) American.
The Teachers Institute has come and gone like
the circus that annually enthuses the small boy
and brings out the bald heads, and like the circus
there is a pronounced sameness in the programme.
do not make this comparison in derogatory
sense, but simply because in that respect one re-
minds me of the other. For you have no doubt
observed that each time you paid your half dollar
to witness the exhibitions in the sawdust ring,
there was the same clownish freaks, bareback rid
ing, jumping through paper balloons, acrobatic
efforts and trick mules, and so in the case of
Teachers Institutes in the past, the same perform
ers in the same roles have come with each recur-
ring season. Looking back over the bills of fare
served q. some of the institutes during the last
ten years, and recalling the annual tramps, who
have, under contract, rehashed their theories and
glorifed themselves, am reminded of the young
man who went counting where they always had
mutton for supper. One evening the head of
the family requested him to ask blessing on the
standing meal, when he fervently said;
"Mutton hot, and mutton cold,
Mutton young, and mutton old,
Mutton tender, and mutton tough
thank thee, Lord, we've mutton enough"

~New York city is claiming an addition to
its population of 10000 during the present year.
More than 5000 new buildings have been erected
and still there is cry for room. Lots four miles
north of the City Hall have been selling at SIS, OO0
or at the rate of s144,O0O an acre. All these
things are evidences that New York is growing
and thriving town, but the claim that $1,000 new
residents will be added to the population of the
city in the year 1887, will be accepted with some
allowance for super abundant enthusiasm.

Thinking of Going to Texas.

The religious sect known as the Dunkards, Or
Feet-washing Baptists, is largely represented in
Western Maryland, particularly in Frederick ald
Washington counties. The tenets of the Dunk
ards are not of character to gain numerous co.,
verts, and it is not surprising that proposal hss
been made to colonize all the members of tie
Dunkard community in the Panhandle sectin
of Texas. IF this should be done the Lone ,Ssr
State would be a material gamer, for the Duik-
ards are an honest, thrifty, industrious and en-
nently peaceable people, asking only to be allow;
ed to carry out their peculiar notions unm oleste
During the Civil War they enjoyed the rare priv
ilege of being respected and spared by both the
Union and Confederate soldiers, when the tide q
strife swept thrice over the soil of Maryland.
